Abstract:
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound prescriptions serve as crucial practical embodiments of TCM theoretical frameworks, characterized by their complex multi-component composition and multi-target interactions. The research on the material basis of their pharmacological effects has gradually become the key to promoting the modernization of TCM. In recent years, new ideas and theories regarding the research on pharmacodynamic substance basis of TCM compound prescriptions have been continuously proposed. This review systematically summarizes and reviews analytical techniques such as targeted fishing technology, spectrum-effect relationship analysis, serum pharmacochemistry, network pharmacology, high-throughput screening, and cell membrane chromatography. It is found that these techniques exhibit unique advantages in areas including target-specific analysis, component-pharmacological effect correlation analysis, identification of the material basis in vitro and in vivo, prediction of multi-target mechanisms, efficient screening of active ingredients, and analysis of interactions between cell membrane receptors. These techniques compensate for the shortcomings of traditional research methods, enhance the systematicness and precision of research on pharmacodynamic substance based TCM compound prescriptions, and can provide theoretical support for the promotion and clinical application of TCM compound prescriptions.
